Alongside 949 digital downloads and 27,963 sales-equivalent streams, it shifted 42,492 CDs across three editions, cruelly derailing what would have been Olivia Rodrigo’s fifth No.1 single, and second chart double.IKIIKY sold more copies on CD in the week than any single in any week since December 2014, when X Factor winner Ben Haenow’s coronation single, Something I Need sold 47,001 copies in the format on its first frame. With IKIIKY having sold 5,084 CDs last week, its overall sales in the format grow to 47,576 – also the highest since Haenow’s single’s overall tally of 92,040, and surpassing The Beatles’ chart-topper Now And Then (47,404 sales), as the top CD single of the 2020s. Heir apparent Stupid Song has to settle for a No.2 debut instead for Olivia Rodrigo, on consumption of 53,767 units. The third single from Rodrigo’s new album, You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love (YSPS…) – which romps to an easy No.1 debut – Stupid Song arrives eight weeks after the first, Drop Dead, debuted at No.1 and three weeks after the second, The Cure, opened at No.2. The Cure rebounds 4-3 (43,473 sales) and Drop Dead ascends 13-5 (37,633 sales). Excluded from the chart under primary artist rules, the remaining 10 tracks on YSPS… are ‘starred-out’ between No.5 and No.18. Overall consumption of tracks by Rodrigo in the week totals 481,108 units, raising her all-time tally to 24,960,804. Her most popular track, Good 4 U – No.1 for five weeks in 2021 – achieved quintuple platinum last week, and has to-date consumption of 3,009,992 units, ahead of Drivers License (2,596,771) and Vampire (1,843,766 units). Although uncharted, Brutal and Happier are her 10th and 11th most-consumed tracks, with tallies of 799,392 and 797,519 units, respectively.Squeezed out of the top two for the first time in 18 weeks, Rein Me In dips 2-4 for Sam Fender & Olivia Dean. Perversely, it does so with a 0.75% increase in consumption to 42,432 units and, crucially, a 0.82% increase in streaming points, which means that, having previously been in danger of falling into ACR next week it is now back on SCR and will not have the value of its streams halved for at least four weeks.It has now completed 52 consecutive weeks – a full year – in the Top 40, just two fewer than the all-time record holder, Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran. It also registers its 35th (non-consecutive) week in the Top 10, moving up to joint fourth in that list. The rest of the Top 10: Hate That I Made You Love Me (3-6, 31,322 sales) by Ariana Grande, Billie Jean (5-7, 30,577 sales) and Beat It (8-8, 24,176 sales) by Michael Jackson, Dracula (7-9, 23,899 sales) by Tame Impala and Midnight Sun (9-10, 23,579 sales) by Zara Larsson. Exiting the Top 10: Janice STFU (6-11, 23,441 sales) by Drake and Go (10-13, 22,162 sales) by The Chemical Brothers.K-Pop capers: Their previous chart experience limited to Spaghetti, a No.46 collaboration with BTS’ J-Hope last November, South Korean five-piece girl group Le Sserafim have joined forces with their previously uncharted compatriots Illit – also a female quintet – and US-based multi-national female sextet Katseye, who have four prior hits, for Iconic By Mistake (No.23, 15,041 sales). Meanwhile, Come Over is the new single from BTS’ Arirang album, and debuts at No.52 (8,349 sales) becoming their 26th chart entry.In case you hadn’t noticed, the 2026 World Cup is in full flow, and to celebrate there’s one football song in the chart for each goal England scored in their opener against Croatia. Two are new, and two are escapees from ACR, music’s own spoilsport equivalent of VAR.Leading the intake, Dai Dai (81-28, 13,647 sales), is the official song of this year’s tournament, as performed by Colombian singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy, becoming her 15th Top 40 and 17th Top 75 hit, his 16th Top 40 and 23rd Top 75 hit. Shakira also performed (with Freshlyground), the official song of the 2010 tournament, Waka Waka (This Time For Africa), which peaked at No.21 at the time, last charted in 2012, and is now a re-entry at No.37 (11,444 sales), two notches below England anthem Three Lions (No.35, 11,993 sales), the 1996 No.1 by David Baddiel, Frank Skinner & The Lightning Seeds, which is a re-entry with almost every staging of the World Cup and Euros, and which was helped by the release of new CD and vinyl editions. Completing the quartet, No Scotland, No Party (No.74, 7,205 sales), the first hit by 42-year-old Scottish postman Nick Morgan was written for and first released to coincide with the 2024 Euros, and has been revised for the World Cup. Also new to the chart: RMB (Ring My Bell), an adaptation of Anita Ward’s 1979 No.1, and the 31st hit for Manchester rapper Aitch, seemingly sampling the original.There are new peaks for: On 2Nite (32-30, 12,764 sales) by Silva Bumpa and Orbiter (48-46, 10,251 sales) by Noah Kahan.Harry Styles’ ongoing residency at Wembley Stadium saw his entire oeuvre increase consumption week-on-week, with latest album, Kiss All The Time: Disco, Occasionally returning to the Top 10, while its recent No.1 offshoot, American Girls rebounds 18-12 (23,255 sales) and subsequent chart-topper Aperture (No.25, 14,414 sales) escapes ACR to join it. Styles’ debut solo hit, 2017 chart-topper Sign Of The Times, continues its recent viral revival, jumping 38-29 (13,518 sales). Boosted by its use in the film Project Hail Mary, it reached No.28 in the first week of its return to the chart, 10 weeks ago. Overall singles consumption is down 0.05% week-on-week to 31,515,714 units, 0.10% above same week 2025 sales of 31,483,452 units. Paid-for sales are up 9.04% week-on-week at 303,298, 9.65% above same week 2025 sales of 276,618.Albums01 102,814 Olivia Rodrigo - you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love [27,194 CDs, 25,562 vinyl, 9,212 cassettes, 1,443 downloads, 39,403 streaming]02 23,517 Michael Jackson - The Essential03 10,989 Harry Styles - Kiss All the Time.

That is the more than the rest of the Top 10 combined, and the second highest tally of the year - trailing only the 183,045 units posted by Harry Styles’ album Kiss All The Time: Disco, Occasionally 15 weeks ago. Furthermore, it is 70.58% above the 60,272 units that O-Rod’s second album, Guts, managed on debut at No.1 in 2023; and 101.83% above the 50,942 units her introductory album, Sour, achieved on its 2021 premiere, also at No.1. It is the 15th time an album has achieved a six-figure sale in the 338 weeks that have thus far elapsed in the 2020s. Occupying 13th place in that list, it joins five albums by Taylor Swift, two by Harry Styles, two by Coldplay and one apiece by Sam Fender, Arctic Monkeys, Adele and ABBA, with Adele’s 30 being the only album to exceed 100K twice in that period. The only other female solo artists to debut at No.1 with their first three studio albums are Susan Boyle (2009-2011), Adele (2008-2015) and Billie Eilish (2019-2024). Rodrigo also holds the curious distinction of being the only artist in chart history to have three charted studio albums, without any of them ever dipping out of the Top 75 – actually the Top 50. They will one day, of course, but Guts (31-25, 4,185 sales) is on its 145th consecutive week, without dropping below No.43, while Sour (32-28, 3,911 sales), is on week 265, with a low of No.45. The only Rodrigo album to depart the chart is 2025 concert release, Live From Glastonbury (A BBC Recording), which left the list the week after debuting at No.12 last December.The only 2020s studio album to spend more weeks in Top 75 than Sour is Taylor Swift’s 2020 album Folklore, with 288 weeks thus far, although it hasn’t added to that tally for 16 weeks. Sour’s to-date consumption is 1,341,583 units, with Guts on 788,013 units. Sour is the sixth most-consumed album of the 2020s, trailing only compilations The Highlights (1,754,404 sales) by The Weeknd, 50 Years: Don’t Stop (1,721,082 sales) by Fleetwood Mac, Diamonds (1,555,996 sales) by Elton John, Time Flies: 1994-2009 (1,415,446 sales) by Oasis and Gold: Greatest Hits (1,350,491 sales) by Abba, all of which were released before the decade began, and hence have higher overall consumption than shown above. Among albums released in the 2020s, the one closest to Sour in consumption is = (Equals) by Ed Sheeran (1,270,695 sales)Embrace extend their opening run of consecutive Top 10 studio albums to nine, with latest release Avalanche becoming their highest-charting set since 2018, as it debuts at No.5 (8,748 sales). The indie rock veterans from Yorkshire, who had three No.1 albums earlier in their career, have had an unchanged line-up since their 1990s inception, comprising 55-year-old singer Danny McNamara, his brother 53-year-old guitarist Richard McNamara; 60-year-old bassist Steve Firth, 58-year-old drummer Mike Heaton and 58-year-old keyboards player Mickey Dale, who served as a session player on their chart-topping debut album, The Good Will Out in 1998, before becoming a full member shortly afterwards. The McNamara brothers co-wrote every song on Avalanche, with Dale credited alongside them on Get Out Of My Own Way. Embrace’s second No.1 album 2004 release, Out Of Nothing, is their most-consumed title, with a to-date tally of 609,628 units.Its consumption dips for the fifth week in a row to 23,517 units, but The Essential is No.2 for Michael Jackson, also for the fifth straight week.Tonight (June 19) sees the fourth of Harry Styles’ sell-out 12-night residency at Wembley Stadium, triggering a return to the Top 10 for his latest album, Kiss All The Time: Disco, Occasionally (12-3, 10,989 sales), and strong rebounds for earlier sets, 2022’s Harry’s House (73-30, 3,569 sales) and 2019’s Fine Line (79-34, 3,391 sales) with a more modest return at No.196 (1,268 sales). for his eponymous 2017 debut. The rest of the Top 10: The Art Of Loving (4-4, 10,332 sales) by Olivia Dean, Iceman (3-6, 8,718 sales) by Drake, Thriller (6-7, 8,522 sales) by Michael Jackson, The Great Divide (7-8, 7,874 sales) by Noah Kahan, 50 Years: Don’t Stop (8-9, 7,496 sales) by Fleetwood Mac and The Highlights (13-10, 7,316 sales) by The Weeknd.Although it had greater consumption last week than any of his previous albums managed on their debut, Niall Horan’s fourth studio set, Dinner Party, also suffers a much greater second week decline, slumping to No.122 (1,693 sales). The rest all managed at least two weeks in the Top 30.Also exiting the Top 10: Sanctuary (10-98, 1,889 sales) by Evanescence, and two albums that depart the Top 200, last week’s No.5, Elsewhere Always (793 sales) by Overpass, and last week’s No.9, Night Blooms (218 sales) by Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. Mysterious and anonymous Canadian experimental rock duo Angine De Poitrine’s June 2024 debut Vol 1, and April 2026 follow-up Vol II – both consisting of six tracks of largely instrumental music – simultaneously chart after being released on CD and vinyl for the first time. Vol II – which debuted at No.117 10 weeks ago – makes its Top 75 debut at No.19 (4,766 sales), followed closely by Vol I (No.23, 4,272 sales). Angine De Poitrine, incidentally, is the French translation of medical term Angine Pectoris – chest pains.Also new to the Top 75: Can We Do It All Again? (No.20, 4,536 sales), the second chart album for UK-based Australian DJ, producer and recording artist Sonny Fodera – 40-year-old Simon Alistair Whitelock – following Wide Awake (No.47, 2021), and with no fewer than eight hit singles among its 18 tracks; Aurora (No.42, 3,027 sales), the 24th studio album and 28th chart entry for prog. rock legends Yes, nowadays an Anglo-American quintet, whose line-up has changed considerably since their 1970s glory days; and Dirty Blonde (No.71, 2,341 sales), the fourth album and second chart entry for American singer/songwriter Bebe Rexha, following her No.33 2018 debut, Expectations.Stadium dates in Liverpool, Edinburgh and London in the last week have a galvanising effect on the catalogue of Zach Bryan, the most visible evidence of which is the 94-40 leap of the country superstar’s latest album, With Heaven On Top. No.3 on debut in January, it increased consumption 50.90% week-on-week to 3,088 units to achieve its highest chart placing for 19 weeks. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack set is No.1 for the third week in a row and 46th time in total on the compilation chart, on consumption of 3,785 units (212 Yoto cards, 36 digital downloads and 3,537 sales-equivalent streams). Released exactly a year ago, it has now gone double platinum, with eligible sales of 603,102 units, although it also sold 50,595 copies on CD and vinyl, which are ineligible.Overall album sales are up 0.86% week-on-week to 2,529,328 units, 0.77% above same week 2025 sales of 2,509,996. Physical product accounts for 316,421 sales, 12.51% of the total.

Friday at 17:312 days Now 70s from last year was the last casual album of theirs to top the compilation chart. I’m glad Demon Hunters stopped Now 80s Summer from going number 1 and they would’ve probably got knocked off the top next week if Now didn’t randomly decide to postpone the release of extra 1972
Friday at 17:322 days Ouch for BebeAlso that drop for Niall!!!! Edited Friday at 17:322 days by ElectroBoy
Friday at 17:432 days I was wondering if anyone has access to the Official UK Top 200 Album Downloads Chart for the week 19–25 June 2026. I am trying to find out whether Tasos P. – Aether appeared in the chart. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance :)
Friday at 17:462 days I was about to say ‘50 Years - Don’t Stop’ deadly coming for album of the decade, untilI realised it only caught up with The Weeknd by 180 sales last week 😅

Friday at 18:192 days Poor Bebe can never catch a break!Mad that 'Brutal' has done 800k without ever charting, shame it never got to have a moment in that sense.
